Sāṃkhya-Kārikā | The Roots of Yoga


What is it about?

One of India’s oldest philosophies, Sāṃkhya is an enquiry into the origins of the universe. Quite a program!

It is considered the “sister” school of yoga because it lays the foundations of the yoga system. Anyone with a keen interest in Patañjali’s Yoga-Sūtra eventually gravitates towards Sāṃkhya study.

The main text of Sāṃkhya is the Sāṃkhya-Kārikā, a collection of 72 verses presenting essential concepts such as the two-fold nature of reality (matter and consciousness), the evolution of Nature, the 3 causes of suffering, the structure of the mind, the 10 “gross” and “subtle” elements, the 11 sense organs, the 3 constituents of Nature, and more. The text will be explained verse by verse in the context of yoga, with the support of study material.

Yoga teachers of all backgrounds seeking to deepen their knowledge. Committed yoga practitioners who have read Patañjali’s Yoga-Sūtras.
